Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the flour, baking powder, Crisco, and powdered milk together.
- Store the mixture in the icebox for future use.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. If you don’t have Crisco, butter or margarine can be used as substitutes, but the texture may vary slightly. To make the mix gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend and adjust the baking powder as needed. This versatile mix can also be used in various American recipes, making it a great pantry staple.
Serving Suggestions
This Bisquick mix is perfect for pancakes, waffles, or biscuits. For a delicious breakfast, serve your pancakes with Joy Lange'S Frosting or a drizzle of maple syrup. It can also be used as a base for savory dishes like a quick cheese-topped vegetable supper or added to soups for thickening.

Store the homemade Bisquick mix in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. This will keep the fats from becoming rancid. When you're ready to use it, there's no need to reheat; simply scoop out the amount you need for your recipe directly from the fridge.
